The shorter rods are not reproduced, so you will need to shorten the ones you have.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"AppleOriginalContents\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"AppleOriginalContents\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow available for wire-wheel-equipped Bugeyes!
